I’m enjoying the site overall, but I feel like a lot of people are way too die-hard into the philosophy here, to the point where everything seems to come back around to endless circle jerks about how cool and awesome we are for using the superior open platform.
I like it because it’s open, but it really isn’t THAT big of a thing, and I’m getting pretty burned out only the endless talks about what is and isn’t the best pure way to implement the perfect utopia of federation.
I feel you, but at the same time I like it for a weird sense of nostalgia and optimism. I remember seeing that same spark back in the early days of the web on Usenet and random niche forums around the net. Being hopeful isn’t bad. I mean, it’s a bit naive but it’s cute.
I think that’s a user influx problem, we’ve had it multiple times over at mastodon as well, usually it dies down again after a couple of weeks, and we can just concentrate on other things instead, at least until a new wave of users arrive :)

I second this, I see many posts like this about reddit/Lemmy and less of the content I really came here to see.
